I've added another 20 Boyz and 3 Kans to the fledgling Ork Deathskullz Army to give me 500 points in total. Hurrah they're now at a useable level!I've kept the painting very simple for this army with washes forming the mainstay of depth perception; easier for a horde army!The full 500....Yes they are blue. I didn't want green Orks so mine have gone blue - afterall it's supposed to be a lucky colour for Orks right??

How do I tell the 2 squads apart? I paint the gloves/wristbands different colours :-)

Yellow...Red...The 2 Nobz... One Yellow and One Red... the third squad will use green...The outfits of both squads are mainly yellow but with various other foundation colours thrown in for good measure.

Kans - new plastic ones which are very spiky and do hurt. Washed with Black for the oily look...So 2011 continues to be a good year for completing projects. I also completed the basing on the final Daemons so they're complete and done. Yay.

I'm finding that mixing up my painting is really helping: a unit for the Orks, then a World Eater unit then a marine unit etc. Enjoying the variation.

Next up: 500 points of Space Wolves, Planetstrike scenery for a GoG mini-campaign and Prussians for Dystopian Wars. After that I need to be looking at Dark Eldar, World Eaters, Tzeentch and Shrike's Marines. This assumes I don't get sidetracked by those shiny Grey Knights in April....

Back in August 2009 I half painted a 10 man Chaos Space Marine unit for my Tzeentch army and then, well actually I can't remember what distracted me but it must have been shiny!

Jump forward to Jan 2011 and after fixing the broken pieces of the army after the car crash I decided they deserved some additions so up popped this unit and over the course of a couple of weekends they've been completed.

So that's a double meltagun unit with power fist and icon of Tzeentch (5+ invulnerable is good right??)And yes that is a bug head from the Spawn sprue and a Bezerker arm. Well I had spares...Rhino on order to complete the unit as we can't have the poor dears walking into the enemy fire now can we?

Over the weekend I built Abaddon for CJ, Warp Spiders for CJ and some Havocs for the Tzeentch boys.

Painting wise I'm waiting for some Desert Yellow spray for the World Eaters so meanwhile the Ork Kans have arrived on the painting table to get me up to 500 points of painted Orks.

Welcome!!!

Welcome one and all

Well this blog has been running for a few years now. It has gone through peaks andtroughs of activity as real life forces our collective hobby time to take a back burner. But we are still here and working hard.

We have taken a group decision to drive up the number of posts and you will see that we have started to build up an impressive set of Horus Heresy 30 k armies as well.

We have also launched into a wider portfolio of games of all shapes and sizes.

The list of games you will see in the posts just about cover the full spectrum of the games in common usage out there. Expect to see stuff about 40k, 30k, Pulp City, Pulp Alley, DZC, Infinity, 7TV and others. Maybe. Assuming we get to them all.
